Business cards: layout, info, material, etc.

I've bought my domain name, gotten my phone number, and now about to order my business cards (and then the real work starts), and was looking for some opinions on what everyone likes to see in a business card. There are a few specific questions that I'd like to see input on:

1. The material options seem to be uv coated or non uv coated, and with non uv coated, there are different weights of paper. My personal thoughts on this are to go with a uv coated card to use for marketing to find the motivated sellers, and a non uv card for networking with other investors (I'm looking to start by wholesaling), for the reason that it seems like if other investors want to write a note on the back, they'll be able to on a paper card, but not so much on a uv coated card. But any other opinions here?

2. The layout and format: Obviously name, phone number, email need to be included. Personally I'd prefer not to include my home address, since I'm still a bit of a transient (please don't take this as an invite to sell me a house), and waiting on a PO Box. Some people say that I should put down what I do, but I'm not really sure what it is that I do. I WANT to wholesale, but then answer the door whenever opportunity knocks, meaning that I'll retail if the right deal presents itself and the private money is available. What do you guys put for this? Wholesaling Real Estate?

3. Picture or not? A design or just the basic info?

4. As far as dos and don'ts, I'm sure there are a million. Any tips that anyone can be dinclude here are greatly appreciated, and hopefully can help me and anyone that does a search for "business cards" that might be interested in this topic.

Many thanks in advance.

Jeff

ps. I'd be very interested in seeing anyone's card that would like to pm me a copy.
